On November 14th, 1892, the dog was again brought to 
hospital, this time a week overdue and the abdomen greatly 
distended, and on examination a diagnosis of ascites was 
made. The animal was tapped that day, and under the

After the last tapping, when returning home, the dog had 
grown so weak that the owner decided to have her destroyed, 
so returned to the hospital where she was chloroformed. 
Upon post-mortem, the liver was found to have undergone 
waxy degeneration and increased in size, and the capsule 
drawn so tight that the lobes were only distinguished by 
their free border ; the kidneys were perhaps slightly enlarged ; 
the heart was hypertrophied, and the valves very much thick¬ 
ened ; ever) thing else appeared normal. 
The internal treatment of this animal consisted of chloride 
of iron three drops three times a day, and having no results 
from this, bitartrate of potassium was used, but without re¬ 
sults. The idea of putting a silver tube into the abdomen so 
that the owner could draw the fluid off was suggested, but 
he preferred to bring the animal to the hospital. 
To us this seemed an interesting case, as the dog only 
weighed about thirteen pounds, and had, as you see, over 
fourteen gallons of fluid taken from her.
